The city council tackled 2 Proposed Ordinances, 4 Proposed Resolutions and 7 committee reports.

Hon. Eliezer L. Borja, chairman of the committee, conducted a meeting along with other members of the committee namely:  Hon. Nerio D. Zamora II, Hon. Raul T. Aparicio II, Hon. Jonas R. Cacho and invited Taloto Punong Barangay Hon. Eugene Zamora to investigate this matter. During the course of their discussion, the  committee presented to PB Zamora that the city council already passed an ordinance last April 2020, City Ordinance No. C-299, which amended Section 11 of City Ordinance No. 189, Speed Restrictions along streets/roads within the jurisdiction of the City of Tagbilaran which state as follows:
